Different Type Of Wizard

Upon the Hour

After Kushina had practically stuffed Kakashi like a pig, they walked towards the boats by the lake, meeting up with Harry and Neville. Kakashi could see how stressed Harry was, he hoped that he had figured out a way to live underwater for an hour. However, when he saw Neville pass something over towards Harry, his stomach sank. Neville wasn't a bad person, just an incompetent one. Hopefully whatever Neville had passed Harry had something to do with Herbology, otherwise he was doomed.

"Are you alright Harry? You seem a little tense." Neville said also taking notice of Harry's pale and nervous features.

"Do I? Ugh, Where are Ron and Hermione?" Harry asked irritated, he hadn't seen them sense Professor Moody had told them to go see Professor McGonagall.

"I'm sure they're already at the docks Harry." Neville reassured.

"Yeah..." Harry said getting on a boat with Neville, Kakashi and Kushina. Harry was internally glad that Kushina was present, even if she was only there to support Kakashi. The red headed woman had a calming presence that set him at ease. He watched enviously as she fretted over the state of Kakashi's hair, jealous of the motherly affection.

"Good morning Champions!" Dumbledore said as he saw Harry and Kakashi step out of the magically enchanted boat. He gestured for them to follow him, nodding respectfully towards Kushina. "Good morning to you as well Mrs. Uzumaki." He said to her.

"You as well, Dumbledore Sensei." Kushina said, catching Neville by the arm as he almost fell into the water. Neville looked at her greatfully, impressed by her fast reflexes. Dumbledore smiled at the name she had called him, pleased with the honor of the title.

"We would be glad to have you with us in the Judges box, Hiruzem shall be there as well." Dumbledore invited. Kushina looked towards Kakashi, silently asking if he would be alright if she left. Kakashi nodded his head, slightly annoyed at being treated like a child, but didn't voice it allowed.

"Now, Potter... Hatake, you should head to the middle deck. Krum, Diggory and Miss. Delacour are already present. At a quarter till, we shall announce the start of the trial. Good luck to you both." Dumbledore said, leaving to escort Kushina to the Judges box by the arm.

"That's in ten minutes, so we should probably get going." Neville said to Harry, who nodded his head nervously.

"What was the thing that Neville handed to you earlier?" Kakashi asked when Neville was out of earshot.

"Gillyweed." Harry answered. Kakashi remembered reading about gillyweed, it allowed the consumer to adapt to wet climates. Changing the structure of the body to be able to swim and breath underwater. Kakashi was greatful to Neville with helping out Harry, he was no longer worried with Neville accidentally killing Harry. 

"Excellent." Was all Kakashi said in responce. However, that was all Harry needed to calm his nerves down. If Kakashi trusted Neville's judgment, than so would he.

Harry and Kakashi stood by the other Champions when Mad-Eye made his way over to stand by Harry. Kakashi had noticed that over the past few months, Moody had sort of adopted Harry, looking out for him and giving him advice. Kakashi was greatful for the man's efforts, it made his duties so much easier.

"Put that in your mouth." Kakashi heard Moody say to Harry. He watched as Harry painstakingly shoved the nasty tasting root in his mouth, feeling sorry for him.
